A truly wonderful thing happened. As you may know, we are doing a fundraiser for the Middle School library called Books4Hawks:

An older lady must have seen the information about this in the Los Alamos Monitor, and she came all the way to the Los Alamos Middle School and anonymously donated a $100 bill.
She gave it to our receptionist, Claire Swinhoe, and made her getaway before I could thank her. Claire does not know who the lady was, but says she was an older woman probably past retirement age.
This is such wonderful generosity!
